Murder of Jun Lin
In May 2012,
Jun Lin (December 30, 1978 – May 24/25, 2012), a Chinese university student, was fatally stabbed and dismembered in
Montreal, Canada, by Luka Rocco Magnotta, who then mailed Lin's hands and feet to elementary schools and federal political party offices. After a
video that showed Magnotta mutilating Lin's corpse was posted online, Magnotta fled Canada, becoming the subject of an
Interpol Red Notice and prompting an international manhunt. In June 2012, he was apprehended in
Berlin. In December 2014, after eight days of deliberations, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder. Magnotta was given a mandatory life sentence and 19 years for other charges, to be served concurrently. Magnotta was previously sought by
animal rights groups for uploading videos of himself killing
kittens.
